Sure, some people may be afraid of creepy-crawlies, reptiles and even rodents, while others are totally spooked by strange things like bananas, birds and balloons.
But when it comes to what freaks our favourite celebs out, these are some next-level phobias!
Don’t believe us? Well, see for yourself…
Oprah’s fear of chewing gum is so full-on that she bans it from even entering the building where her show is filmed. She’s even thrown out a dinner plate that a guest had left a chewed piece of gum on. Wow.
Yep, Orlando Bloom officially has swinophobia. Apparently, when a pig got loose on the set of his movie Kingdom Of Heaven, the Brit hottie ran away as fast as he could. Oink!
Nicole Kidman‘s fine with snakes and spiders, but cannot handle the ever-dainty butterfly. As a kid, she would “climb over” fences and “crawl around” the side of her house to avoid the front gate where butterflies tended to be.
Kylie Minogue once admitted: “I have a hanger phobia. I don’t like the way they sound when you put them in the wardrobe.” This means she actually lays all of her clothes out in her room instead of hanging them up!
We have to admit, revolving doors do have something scary about them… Matthew McConaughey once said: “I get anxious just being around them.”
Yep, Rita Ora is actually scared of going to the toilet. “I have this thing where I think this tunnel must start from somewhere and sometimes I think, ‘What if something comes out of the toilet?’ she says.
Cameron Diaz‘s phobia is a tricky one – because it means it could almost make it impossible for her to open a door!
This is one A-lister who is legitimately afraid of doorknobs.

Carmen Electra is scared of, wait for it… water! Yep, despite being a Baywatch babe all those years ago, the actress is actually a life-long aquaphobic. “I get terrified anywhere near it and have a panic attack,” she said.

Uber-glam Pamela Anderson has made a living from her babin’ Baywatch bod, but chances are, she may not have seen it for herself as much as you may think. This is because Pam has a fear of mirrors!
